Q: ios 9.3.1 Calendar thinks its 2020

I'm running iOS 9.3.1 on my iPhone 6 and for some reason this morning my calendar set itself automatically to March 11, 2020. This has also caused all of my certificates to expire. I've tried rebooting the phone to no avail. The only way I've been able to fix this is to turn off automatic date/time in settings and manually set the date myself.

 

Has anyone else run into this issue?

 

Thanks!

iPhone, iOS 7

    Hi there zCityGuyNY,

     

    It sounds like your date is way off all of a sudden, and the only way to fix it is to turn off Automatic Date and Time. According to the following article I believe you will need to reach out to your carrier:

    I had the same problem this past weekend. I will include some details on the problem so we can determine the commonalities.

     

    I was visiting New York, NY. I am on an iPhone 6 with ios 9.3.2. I was in Low Power Mode. First I noticed my certificates were invalid. I received the following error message:

    "Cannot Verify Server Identity; The identity of "imap.gmail.com" cannot be verified by dataaccessd. Review the certificate details to continue."

     

    I also received an error message that I had not had a successful backup in a couple hundred weeks. Then I noticed that my iMessages were sending as text messages and my internet access in other apps was either not functioning or was functioning very poorly. Then after turning off my phone twice, I was welcomed by the "Hello" screen. You know the one it shows you when you get a new iPhone when it says Hello in different languages. The only difference from a new phone is that it still asked for my iPhone passcode. Once I followed the instructions on-screen (I had to wait until the night when I was on wifi again), then my phone was mostly normal and usable again without restoring from backup. The Google Maps app still thought I was in NY, NY where my phone died until I deleted and reinstalled that app two days later. When I looked at two screenshots I took before it crashed, I noticed that those photos were dated May 10, 2020 (the actual date was June 5, 2015).

    Commonalities with the OP: iPhone 6, similar ios version, in New York, Calendar was 4 years in the future, certificates expired.
